These solutions exist in the land of SCADA, industrial control, DIN rail..

Advantech is a vendor, search "iot-ethernet-i-o-modules-adam-6000-6200"...

I've hunted for this too, but the best I found was a RPi at both ends, with some software to send it via TCP/UDP.
You might look at the industrial controls products - I've not looked recently, and it would definitely be pricey. But that kind of almost turnkey thing is fairly common.

There was a posting from Skip a while ago that didn't come through. See
below for his request. Me too.

In my case, I have an area at home you could call my working bench. I
also have small room, less accessible, where I keep my best clocks with
as little human interference as possible. I'd like to improve its remote
monitoring and control over ethernet.

So the question is, does anyone make a black box that acts as a
transparent latch or GPIO? I'd like 8 or 16 bits at my bench that when
changed turn into bits in the remote lab. Ideally no setup, no protocol,
no commands, no software, no operating system, no bugs; just two boxes
with N pins on each end and changes are reflected from one to the other
over LAN. TTL/CMOS level is fine. Some latency is ok.

I'm not looking for yet another WiFi, Arduino/LAN, or R-Pi project, but
rather a turn-key solution that just works. I spent a significant amount
of time on the web, thinking this would be a trivial search, but I came
up empty.

Thanks,
